We arrived at the Great Wall around 9 o'clock on Monday morning, and the hotel staff drove us to the foot of the Great Wall. We also came back to pick up the package. Around 9 o'clock, there aren't really many people on the Great Wall, and any photo shoot feels like a private event. The Great Wall is really spectacular, and the scenery on the mountain is also beautiful. From the cable car up the mountain to the 6th beacon tower, we walked from the 6th to the 14th. The 14th is the cable car route up the mountain, and the section from the 14th to the 20th is relatively crowded and steep. Due to limited physical strength, I didn't continue to move forward, so I turned back to No. 6 and took the cableway down the mountain.
We chose the cableway up the mountain. We originally planned to take the slide down the mountain, but by noon, the slide had already formed a long queue, and it seemed like we had to wait for an hour. So we decided to take the cableway down the mountain without queuing. The child walked on her own throughout the entire journey, which was very good. In fact, she was a bit scared when she first arrived at the Great Wall. Seeing that the Great Wall was steep, she was a bit afraid to walk. Later, with our encouragement, she started climbing on her own. There is Burger King at the foot of the Great Wall scenic area, and lunch is available. In the afternoon, I returned to the hotel to take a nap, and after getting up, I wandered around the village.
It's about an hour and a half's drive from Beigou Village to Universal Studios on Tuesday. Universal Studios bought tickets for the 15th day. It is convenient to stay in Universal Studios Hotel. When we arrived at Universal Studios at about 11:00 a.m., there were not many people checking in at this time. We should store our luggage, have lunch, play in the children's park of the hotel for a while, and wait until 2:00. I just came in this half day to watch performances, take photos, and stroll around freely. Download the Universal Studios app in advance, and purchase tickets on the app a week in advance will have a discount. It's best to also buy Yousu Tong in advance, otherwise many projects will start queuing for 70 minutes.
On Wednesday morning, you can enter the park early at 8:30 am. When you wake up early and find a good roll, you start queuing up at 7:30 am and have breakfast. The park will be cleared before 8:30 am. The hotel has a dedicated entrance, but fortunately it hasn't been queued for too long. Upon entering the amusement park, I went to the Little Yellow Man area. There was no need to queue up early in the morning. The small projects in the Little Yellow Man area are suitable for young children to play first. queuing up for these projects would be too uneconomical, and buying Yousu Tong would be a waste. Yousu Tong is going to buy several major projects, and the Harry Potter area is particularly popular. It is important to take advantage of the low traffic in the morning, otherwise you won't be able to squeeze in in the afternoon. After playing, it feels like the Harry Potter area is quite crowded, while other places are okay. The Kung Fu Panda area is indoor and provides a great summer retreat. After completing some projects, I went to the Kung Fu training camp inside Kung Fu Panda, which is actually a children's amusement park. Children can play for a long time here with slides and have fun. I had lunch at the noodle shop inside, and the decoration of this noodle shop recreates the scene of Kung Fu Panda. Very good. The weather is too hot. I went back to take a nap at noon, but it wasn't as hot in the afternoon. I got up and continued playing. Overall, it's just not rushing. Follow the app to see if there are any projects with less queue time, and then you can go and play. When we went in again in the afternoon, we found that there were fewer people on Xiaohuangren's side, and the queue did not exceed 20 minutes. So we went and browsed again.
On Thursday, if you're not in a hurry, have good breakfast and go to the children's playground to play. Children must play until 11 o'clock before checking out, and then go to the city. It's another hour's drive, and I live in a courtyard near the Forbidden City. The location is good, close to the Forbidden City, but the room is really small. After finishing lunch, take a nap at the homestay and depart for Tiananmen Square at around 4 pm. Go around 4 pm in the afternoon. There aren't many people at the entrance of Tiananmen Square and the weather is getting cooler. Take photos and then go to Siji Minfu near the Forbidden City to eat roast duck. You can get your number in advance on the Gaode map. Just go over when it's almost there.
On Friday, the family arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden City at almost 10 o'clock after much deliberation. In fact, on their way in, they saw a nearby park that they had forgotten its name. Inside, it happened to be a soldier from the flag class who was training. We went in and watched the training for a long time. Then I arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden City at 10 o'clock and thought there was a long queue, but I didn't expect to enter in less than 10 minutes. Smooth entry. In fact, the Forbidden City is very large, with most of them crowded on the central axis. Both sides are still very spacious. There is a porcelain museum on the left when entering, and there is also an ice cellar ahead after strolling. Come out and cross the central axis. On the right is the Treasure Museum and Watch Museum. There are a lot of people inside, and you can still see the queue. The Forbidden City needs to make an appointment on the WeChat official account a week in advance. The Treasure Museum and the Watch Museum need to make an appointment in advance. You also need to make an appointment in advance on the mini program to go to Tiananmen Square.
Due to limited physical strength, I didn't go to Jingshan Park to overlook the Forbidden City, which is a small regret.
I'll go back home on Saturday.
In fact, the children's favorite is Universal Studios. She is not very interested in Harry Potter and has not watched any movies or original works. Her favorite ones are the dinosaurs and Transformers from the Jurassic period. As well as the performances of dragon tamers, the Little Yellow Man area is also suitable for young children.
Knowing that we were coming to Beijing, my dad even dug up photos of our whole family in front of Tiananmen Square over 30 years ago, and my husband's parents also dug up the same model. It seems that everyone has a family photo taken in front of Tiananmen Square in their childhood. ha-ha.
